6000 Watt Generator
General Precautions (cont'd)
Electrical Safety (cont'd)
• Before servicing equipment powered by the generator, disconnect the equipment from its power
input.
• Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the insulation is
cracked, cut, abraded, or otherwise degraded. Replace terminals that are worn, discolored, or
corroded. Keep terminals clean and tight.
• Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.
• Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
generator. Do not use a generator while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating generators may
result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its "STOP" position and disconnect
the spark plug wire when not in use.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the generator. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and maintain balance at all times.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved safety impact eye
goggles. Dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
• Do not overload the generator. Use the appropriate generator for your application. The
correct generator working at the rate for which it is designed, will do the job better and safer.
• Do not use the generator if the power switch does not turn the generator on or off. Any
generator that cannot be controlled by the power switch is dangerous and must be fixed or
replaced.
